Coach Christian A. Dickinson is a dedicated educator, coach, and leader committed to fostering mentorship and resilience. Married with four children, his vibrant family reflects his active lifestyle. His oldest son excels in extreme sports, while one daughter played soccer, another competed in NCAA Division 1 volleyball, and his youngest is now taking up golf.

In high school, Dickinson’s life revolved around the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), where he served as President, strengthening his faith and leadership. Later, as a coach, he continued this legacy as an FCA Sponsor, fostering a faith-based community for students.

His sports history includes playing and coaching football, weightlifting, basketball, and golf, highlighted by earning a football state championship alongside Tim Tebow during his high school years in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

As an educator, Dickinson has impacted K-12 students as a teacher, coach, and principal in public and private schools. His book, It’s Great to Be a Grenadier: 7 Lessons in Leadership, reflects leadership lessons drawn from his years at Colonial High School (1992–2002).

Dickinson co-authored Full Circle: A 360-Day Devotional for Athletes, tying faith to athletic experiences. He reflects on the tapestry of God’s work in his life, which has come full circle—evident in his renewed collaboration with Coach Anthony “Diso” Paradiso and Coach Neff after 30 years.

Now President and CEO of Learning Engineered Publishing, Dickinson inspires through publishing children’s books, parenting guides, financial literacy curricula, and leadership works.
